How to walk into mirrors in Mina the Hollower

Without going into too much detail, you can walk inside the mirrors Mina the Hollower by pressing the direction pad towards the mirror for a few seconds. Don't press any other buttons – just keep walking and you'll eventually get inside an area called the Astral Orrery.

Now you won't need to progress further into the Astral Orrery until you turn on the five generators in Septemburg, Bone Beach, Queensbury Crypt, Nox's Bayou, and Coltrane Peak. This spacious astral section is the last place you will go.

You will not be able to progress in the Astral Orrery until you “activate” some of the mirrors in each area. Each mirror is color-coded by panels and blocks in the Astral Orrery, and depending on which mirrors you choose to target first, you may only need to activate three of them instead of all five.
